SINAMICS Drives
ROBICON W150CP clean power drive
250 HP to 800 HP
Introduction
This technical data sheet provides a short overview of the
most important characteristics of the ROBICON W150CP
(clean power) 18-pulse low harmonics drive from Siemens,
developed specifically to meet specifications in the
municipal water and waste water market.
A result of the powerful combination of SINAMICS®, the
most advanced drives technology platform, and the ROBICON
legacy of more than 20 years of quality and expertise in the
water and waste water industry, the W150CP makes the
best even better.
The compact and quiet ROBICON W150CP utilizes the
well proven, simple yet effective, 18-pulse technology
to provide clean power to meet the low harmonic
requirements of IEEE 519-1992 at the VFD input terminals,
combined with a state-of- the-art power module with IGBT
power semiconductors. The drive can be operated in either
Volts/Hertz, sensorless vector, or closed loop vector with
encoder control modes.
Standard features
The standard drive enclosure is a floor standing cabinet, which
can be equipped with a wide variety of pre-engineered and
custom options. The ROBICON W150CP has the following
standard features:
• NEMA 1 enclosure, with blowers (optional NEMA 12
ventilated with air filters)
• Circuit breaker disconnect with flange mount operator
handle, mechanically interlocked with the enclosure door
• Short circuit current rating (SCCR) 65 kA at 480 VAC
• Clean power 18-pulse front end with patented phase
shifting autotransformer and input line reactor
• Motor side IGBT inverter with pulse width modulated
(PWM) output featuring pulse edge modulation (PEM)
and optimized pulse patterns
• Advanced operator panel (AOP30), door mounted for easy
start-up and operation
• UL listing per UL508C
• Windows based STARTER software – common to all models
of the SINAMICS family.

Engineering Information
Overload ratings
The ROBICON W150CP drive may be operated
with both variable torque and constant
torque loads at either light or high overload
duties. The criterion for overload is that
the drive is operated with its base load
current before and after the overload occurs.
Light overload duty is based on 110% base
load current for 60 sec or 150% for 10 sec,
repeated every 300 sec.
Light overload
High overload duty is based on 150% base
load current for 60 sec, repeated every
300 sec.
